Problem creating a new project with Laravel

Question

I am learning to create projects with laravel, I am using PHP 8. When creating a new project

composer create-project laravel/laravel new-project

I got the problem

Problem 1
- laravel/framework[v8.12.0, ..., 8.x-dev] require league/flysystem ^1.1 -> satisfiable by league/flysystem[1.1.0, ..., 1.x-dev].
- league/flysystem[1.1.0, ..., 1.x-dev] require ext-fileinfo * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's fileinfo extension.
- Root composer.json requires laravel/framework ^8.12 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v8.12.0, ..., 8.x-dev].

How do I solve it?

You should check server requirements. https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/installation#server-requirements — Thân LƯƠNG Đình, Dec 07 '20 at 14:51
If your PHP version >= 5.3.0, fileinfo should be enabled by default. — KazikM, Dec 07 '20 at 15:39

You need to uncomment this line in the php.ini file located in your PHP installation folder:

;extension=fileinfo

Remove the semicolon and save the file.

extension=fileinfo

In My case, I had to uncomment ";extension=intl" – Jul 06 '21 at 19:27
It depends on the error, the above error says `require ext-fileinfo`. – Ali Ali Jul 06 '21 at 19:58
